Abstract

Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems for processing a search query of a user are detailed. For example, a search query may be received from a user at a social networking system, processed to generate a search result of a plurality of entity result cards and each result card that each include a plurality of order comments about the entity, a plurality of ordered images associated with the entity, contact information for the entity, wherein the comments and images take into account information about the user stored at the social networking system, and a result send to the user.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving, by a social networking system, a search query from a user device;
generating a search result comprising an entity result card by:
determining an entity of interest based on the search query;
identifying a plurality of images associated with the entity of interest and shared by one or more co-users of the social networking system with other users of the social networking system;
determining an order for the plurality of images using a social graph of the social networking system comprising connections among a user of the user device and the entity of interest;
identifying one or more comments that reference the entity of interest by the one or more co-users or the social networking system and shared with other users of the social networking system;
and
identifying a word or phrase occurring more than a threshold number within the one or more comments;
and
providing the entity result card for display on the user device within a graphical user interface of the social networking system, the entity result card comprising the plurality of images arranged according to the determined order and a snippet comprising the identified word or phrase occurring more than a threshold number within the one or more comments.

7 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a computer system to:

receive a search query received from a user device;
generate a search result comprising an entity result card by:
determining an entity of interest based on the search query;
identifying a plurality of images associated with the entity of interest and shared by one or more co-users of a social networking system with other users of the social networking system;
determining an order for the plurality of images using a social graph of the social networking system comprising connections among a user of the user device and the entity of interest;
identifying one or more comments that reference the entity of interest by the one or more co-users of:
the social networking system and shared with other users of the social networking system;
and
identifying a word or phrase occurring more than a threshold number within the one or more comments;
and
provide the entity result card for display on the user device within a graphical user interface of the social networking system, the entity result card comprising the plurality of images arranged according to the determined order and a snippet comprising the identified word or phrase occurring more than a threshold number within the one or more comments.

8 more elements

A system comprising:

at least one processor;
at least one non-transitory computer memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
receive a search query received from a user device;
generate a search result comprising an entity result card by:
determining an entity of interest based on the search query;
identifying a plurality of images associated with the entity of interest and shared by one or more co-users of a social networking system with other users of the social networking system;
determining an order for the plurality of images using a social graph of the social networking system comprising connections among a user of the user device and the entity of interest;
identifying one or more comments that reference the entity of interest by the one or more co-users of the social networking system and shared with other users of the social networking system;
and
identifying a word or phrase occurring more than a threshold number within the one or more comments;
and
provide the entity result card for display on the user device within a graphical user interface of the social networking system, the entity result card comprising the plurality of images arranged according to the determined order and a snippet comprising the identified word or phrase occurring more than a threshold number within the one or more comments.
